I finished the quilt that I made for my mother. I really enjoyed putting it together. As I’ve mentioned before, working with different colors and so many solids was a wonderful push outside of my comfort zone.

I’m so pleased with it’s combination of being modern design, but also simple and not loud.

For the back I did mostly blue with a strip of warm reds and browns – all fabrics that are in the front.

And I’m so happy with the binding on this one too!

I’m not usually drawn to batiks, but this simple one that my mother has told me is her “favorite fabric ever” works perfectly to add another small nice touch to the quilt. Can’t wait to give it to her when she comes for a visit later this month!

it turned out beautiful!!

Beautiful quilt!

Your Mom’s quilt came out stunning 🙂

This is absolutely beautiful! I can see this as the kind of quilt that my husband might actually like in our bedroom. He is so hard to please and seems to only like brown, but I think a colour combination similar to this would please him. I am sure your mother is going to adore this when she gets it – especially with the beautiful binding you added.

You do such an amazing job stippling. That is something I am working on learning. Definitely not as easy as it looks!

Very beautiful quilt. It looks like it should hang in a modern art gallery!

What I like so much about this quilt is the all the colors against the light background. And the batik binding is an awesome detail. The whole thing is kind of like a contemporary Amish quilt–modern, bold and simple all at the time time. Great combination! Lucky mother…
